This weekend I had the opportunity to celebrate 'Día de los Muertos' in Mexico City. Día de los Muertos is a Mexican holiday which has its roots in pre-Colombian culture, as the Aztecs and Mayans viewed death as a normal, natural part of the human experience. Rather than signifying the end, it was considered part of a cycle of transformation. The Mayans believed in 'el Ka'a put sikil' (Rebirth), lending itself to the idea that the souls of the deceased will awaken and return every year to be with their living relatives and savour traditional food and drink they enjoyed in life. This rich tradition remains vibrant in Mexico today, as relatives and friends build altars known as 'ofrendas', on which they leave food, drink, candles, photos and bright marigolds to welcome the souls of the deceased.<br />
<br />
I mainly celebrated Día de los Muertos in Coyoacán. In the main plaza there was a marquee decorated with ofrendas inspired from the different states in Mexico, showing their individual traditions and celebrations.<br />

I was particularly in awe at those of San Luis Potosí, Nayarit and Quintana Roo, and I enjoyed learning about the traditions in particular states, for example the 'Limpieza de los Santos Restos, ritual funerario de la comunidad de Pomuch', which takes place in Campeche. According to this custom, when a person passes away, they are buried for 3 years, after which the remains are exhumed and the bones placed in a wooden box. From this point on, the bones are cleaned by their relatives every 2nd of November, in a tradition known as 'Choo Ba'ak'. The inhabitants of Pomuch believe that if the family do not clean the bones of the deceased properly, their spirits will be restless and roam throughout the town.<br />

The atmosphere in Coyoacán over the weekend was truly amazing. I went every day to enjoy live music, traditional Mexican food and visit the ofrendas. A stage was set up on which artists from different states performed traditional Mexican songs and dances. Someone told me that on Saturday 125,000 people visited the plaza of Coyoacán, making it the second most popular place after the Zócalo!<br />

Around the season of Día de los Muertos, the panaderías in Mexico City become filled with 'Pan de Muertos', a delicious sweet bread which is designed to represent the bones of the deceased. It is consumed by family members and also left on some altars as a form of 'ofrenda'. You can get them rellenos (filled) with chocolate or just plain- both are delicious!!</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">On Saturday the 2nd of November, the main parade for Día de los Muertos took place in the centre of Mexico City. I managed to get a good spot on Reforma to watch from start to finish, as the Zócalo was much more crowded. It was absolutely incredible; it included traditional dances and examples of rituals from various states in Mexico, often drawing on Mexico's pre-colombian heritage. Someone explained to me however that the parades for Día de los Muertos have only existed since the last James Bond movie!! I was struck that the weekend was filled with true celebration and excitement, without the taboo of death, due to the belief that the dead would be offended by mourning.</span><span style="text-align: center;"> I did find it slightly odd, however, that funeral companies used the parades to advertise their businesses. </span><br />

I thought I would just show you all some little gems I found in Poundland yesterday. I always pop into the shop when I can because I always find amazing things (OPI and revlon nail polish, Stila makeup etc). They are hidden beneath a lot of cheap, kind of tacky things but when you find them it is an amazing success and you feel rather proud.</div>

This nail polish remover is AMAZING! I bought the Bourjois one second one ages ago, and I really didn't like it. It leaves a really horrible residue and didn't really take my nail polish off properly (never mind in 1 second!?!) I reverted back to the usual nail polish remover in a bottle, and this summer I went on a camp. My best friend got this out of her suitcase and I tried it, and it literally took my nail polish off instantly. And isn't greasy at all. She said it was from poundland, and I finally managed to get some! This stuff works sooooo well! And is £1...obviously ;P</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The hello kitty plasters are just adorable. I am going to keep them in my school bag this year for the times when people ask despairingly if anyone happens to have a plaster, and I can say 'actually, I do!' and whip out the hello kitty loves. I live for that moment haha ;P Honestly though, these came in handy last year and I can't believe I picked these cute ones up for £1!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And last but not least, the tic tacs. Another gem for my school bag, I eat them whenever I am having a bad lesson and it just makes it better. I don't know how but it does. And 4 packets for £1?!? These will last me forever.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Just wanted to share my poundland happiness with you all :) </div>

French pharmacies are about as common as coffee shops; they are on literally every street. And they are full of skincare brands like bioderma. They don't sell everyday things, me and my mum spent ages trying to find plasters! It's pretty much all skincare (amazing)</div>

I get asked all of the time on my Instagram how I edit my pictures. I made a super short video showing exactly what I do, as it is easier than explaining it :) Sometimes I do more than this, and sometimes all I use is the Valencia filter. This tutorial is just for the average picture. Hope this is helpful!<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;">I absolutely love Soap and Glory products. I think it is a mixture of the cute vintagey packaging, the delicious scents and the quality product which make them one of my favourite brands when it comes to bodycare. I haven't tried any of their skincare products yet but I definitely want to! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;">My most recent purchase from them has been 'The Breakfast Scrub'. It is a thick, sugary body scrub filled with little grains to get rid of the dead skin cells and leave your skin rejuvenated and brightened. I find that this is amazing to use before shaving my legs, to make them super smooth. </span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;">It smells like maple syrup, which is one of my favourite foods of all time! I always want to eat it. I will admit I did have a teeny tiny nibble once but it did NOT taste as good as it smells, haha. I was almost about to buy 'Sugar Crush' but that one is a bit too sweet! If you aren't keen on super sweet scents, this might not be for you as it can be a bit sickly. But if you have a sweet tooth comme moi, you will probably love this!</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;">It is a little pricey at £8, but the container is pretty big and holds a lot of product (300ml), so I think it will last a while. I also have another S&G body scrub in the mini pot, and that was £2.50 and I finished it in about a week. So I think it is better value to go for the £8 version! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
On the 27th of December 2012. I did actually have a blog when I was about 10, which is why my profile says it has been around for a while. It was called "simple but effective" :)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #888888;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Have you had any past online presence before (Other blog, YouTube)?</strong></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
I am on practically every social media going, but in terms of a public outlet like a blog, not really.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">

<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #888888;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Why did you start a blog?</strong></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">It was two days after I received my computer, and it was the first computer (and still is) I ever had! As soon as I got it I knew I wanted to do something on the internet so I randomly made this blog. I am super chatty and none of my friends are particularly into makeup, so starting a blog meant I could ramble on a bout products and likeminded people would read it. If you see my first few posts, they are so long and detailed! When I first started, I was obsessively writing posts and found it so hard to wait a day so I could post again (posting everyday seemed too much, haha). I was so excited!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #888888;"><br /></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #888888;">When did you become serious about starting a blog?</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
This is probably a bad thing to admit, but I am going to roll with it. I wouldn't say I am 'serious' about blogging, after all I am just 15! For me it is a hobby, and a positive outlet which brings me a lot of happiness. :) </div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
Finding time and motivation. I go through phases of blogging every day to blogging once a month (I am in the latter stage at the minute.) I also have tons of homework and school exams, and a lot of the time blogging has to take a back seat.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Hopefully the same as it is now, just little old me having a chat about things which interest me! Maybe a better blog design, better pictures... :)</span></span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #888888;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">What is the most rewarding thing to you about blogging?</strong></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">When people comment on the posts and it makes me feel as though I am part of a community.</span></span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">I really struggle to think of an answer to this! I think when a post doesn't turn out how I want it to that is annoying. Or if I see someone else's blog which has a beautiful layout and amazing pictures and flawless outfits/makeup, I do sometimes feel a bit discouraged and downhearted. It is a super bad trait of mine, but I am trying to stop it! This is my new fave quote: " A flower does not think of competing to the flower next to it. It just blooms." I have this quote on my wall and I absolutely love it. Every time I feel a bit like I am rubbish, I just think of it!! :) </span></span></div>

Hi everyone...*awkwardly waves*<br />
<br />
I have been MIA for a longgg time... like a month?! That is the longest time I have ever gone without blogging and it doesn't feel good :( But I felt like I had to put something out, as I love this little blog and I feel like I have neglected it :( (sorry blog)<br />
<br />
As much as I love blogging, I feel like it is a lot of pressure to take 'perfect' pictures and write amazing posts that everyone loves and post all of the time. For me at the moment, it just isn't realistic as I have a LOT going on in my life. I won't go into any unnecessary, boring detail, but I have a bunch of exams, and I get extremely stressed. I basically turn into a different person when I am stressed, haha :)<br />
<br />
Right now I am trying to focus on being happy.<br />
<br />
I absolutely adore blogging and I am definitely not going anywhere, it's just sometimes I find it really difficult. There are weeks when I am completely 'on schedule', and post consistently, and then there are weeks when I don't post at all and feel like a horrible person for it. I feel like sometimes when I have a schedule, blogging becomes like a chore and that is when I lose motivation. For me, blogging should always be something I love. I think it's obvious when the blogger feels forced, and it's not nice.<br />
<br />
During the summer when I have finished school I will start posting consistently again, as it is what I love to do, and I can't wait!<br />
<br />
I have been posting YouTube videos every single week! I love having a channel so much. I started this blog over a year ago and I never would've thought that I would be posting YouTube videos. Sooo yeaaaa...things change! I started writing about cute things I enjoy, and that is what I still hope to do on this blog.<br />
<br />
This post is a little thrown together and I'm not too sure what I'm trying to say... I guess just hi, I am still here and I still love this whole thing :)<br />

Primark pyjamas are my absolute favourites! I own way too many; every time I go to Primark I buy some. Its an addiction...but they are so cute! All of the prints are gorgeous and they are so cheap, you can't really go wrong. I bought this sleep sweater, because I have so many pyjama bottoms without tops so I thought this could go with them. I couldn't leave these unicorn pyjama bottoms, they are so comfy and cute! </div>

In Paperchase I picked up this notebook. I love how natural it looks. I have so many notebooks, whenever I see a quote that I like or a picture on the internet, I print it off and stick it in one of my notebooks. I have themed pages, and I love looking through them! Its kind of like a physical copy of my tumblr :P PS: this is my tumblr link : <a href="http://ekyjones.tumblr.com/">http://ekyjones.tumblr.com/</a><br />

In Boots I bought two nail polishes. Barry M 'Huckleburry' is such a gorgeous, pastelly blue and I think it is so summery! The name is so cute :) I have never tried Sinful Colours before, but they are only £1.99 which is such a bargain! I think this looks so much more expensive. It is in the colour 'Big Daddy, which is a burnt orange colour. I have it on my toes as we speak and I absolutely love it!<br />

From Boots I also picked up some new skincare products. These 'Good things' products were on sale for £3.32 each, so I picked them up straight away! I have wanted to try this brand for so long. I bought the manuka honey cleanser as a morning cleanser, as it seems so gentle and smells amazing. The deep pore lotion I am going to use after my cleanse and polish as an extra cleanse. I tried them both last night and this morning, and they are both so gentle and smell divine! I will do some proper reviews after I've used them for a bit longer. But so far I am so impressed! They are both free from parabens and harsh chemicals.</div>

I bought this revlon lip butter in 'Peach Parfait'. I have never tried one of their lip butters, but they are cuyrrently on sale for £5.99! I debated which colour to get, but this one is so natural and has a gorgeous subtle shimmer, so perfect for school.<br />

I absolutely love drugstore/ high street makeup products; most of my makeup is from there! I love the bright packaging, cheap prices and the quality :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought I would show some of my favourite products from the high street with you! I haven't been blogging much this week as I have had loads of exams (I hate making excuses like that but it's actually true) It is GCSE time!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you like the video, comment below your favourite products from the drugstore! :)</div>

I haven't done a favourites video for what seems like forever! Recently I have actually tried quite a lot of new products, so I thought I'd show them in an 'April Favourites' video. I know this is a little late, but better late then never!...hopefully ;P<br />

Recently I have been using the mac studio finish concealer in NW15. I went into Mac and asked the sales assistant which concealer is the most high coverage, and she immediately recommended this one to me. She told me that it is so high coverage that it is used to cover tattoos! I was a little reluctant to pay £15 for it, as I have been using the Collection concealer which is only £4!! </div>

I love using this concealer. I use my fingers to apply it; I know you are recommended to use brushes but I use brushes to pinpoint specific blemishes. I pat this onto my skin and it blends in so seamlessly and covers any blemishes, and then I take a little on a brush and go over any annoying spots that I have.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only slight complaint I have with this is that it has a tendency to slide off during the day, so I have to use a LOT of powder to keep it in place. It's so thick and kind of cakey so I never use it underneath my eyes. I just pat it onto my skin and put on powder.</div>

I love the finish this gives me; I'm so happy to have finally found something which can cover my scarring and spots. It's the perfect shade for me ( a very rare find) so I am super happy with it! I also love the packaging, it fits perfectly into my makeup bag and I think it looks really high quality.</div>

Hey everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Recently I have been trying to make more of an effort with my nails. I'm really bad at painting them, and as I'm not allowed anyway for school I usually neglect them except for the occasional clipping session when they get too long.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been trying to use different colours on the weekends, to brighten up my outfits.</div>

I really like Barry M nail polishes. I find them easy to apply and really long lasting! I have tried some Topshop ones but I really didn't like them, I found them so gloopy and hard to spread. Definitely an unpopular opinion! </div>

hey everyone,<br />
<br />
today I have the accent tag! This is a super fun tag which I saw juicystar07 do :) I think accents are so cool, and everyone has a different one so I thought it would be interesting to do this tag :) Hope you all like the video, let me know if you pronounce any of the words differently!<br />
<br />
Lots of love,<br />

Hey everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Recently I have been using the Lush tea tree toner water as a part of my skincare routine. I use it after the Clarins exfoliating toner.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I absolutely love this! It isn't drying at all, and it leaves my skin feeling so fresh and clean. The tea tree helps to calm down any redness or angry blemishes that I have. It isn't a miracle worker, and I wouldn't say that it cures spots, but it definitely gives my skin some TLC when it is looking bad ( which is very frequent haha). It helps to soothe and calm down my skin. It isn't harsh at all and has never broken me out, so I would recommend it even if you have really sensitive skin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the fact that it is in a spray bottle, as less product is wasted. I use three sprays over my face and then wait for it to sink in before applying my moisturiser. I love the packaging of this!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have the small version which was £3.95, and I have been using it since January and it's still full of product, which is a bargain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have you tried this? Do you use any Lush skincare products?</div>

I am so obsessed with daisies at the moment! I have been seeing them in so many shops. These are my favourite daisy themed things that I reallyyy want!<br />
<br />
What do you think about the daisy trend?<br />

<div>
I just uploaded my everyday makeup and hair routine for Spring onto my YouTube. I figured it would be easier to show you all what products I use for everyday in a video :) I am not the best at makeup application so if you do your makeup differently to me, or don't like certain products, that's totally fine too; this is just what works for me! I really hope you all enjoy this video and it would mean so much to me if you subscribed or gave it a little thumbs up :) If you make videos, please leave the name of your channel in the comments so I can subscribe! </div>
<div>
Lots of love,<br />Emma-Kate</div>
